Ghanaian celebrity, Kwasi Kyei Darkwa alias K.K.D has denied raping a 19-year-old girl but admits having consensual sex with her.
He was arrested Saturday night, for allegedly raping the teenager whose identity is yet to be known.
His lawyer Nana Asante Bediatuo told Joy News the two had consensual sex Saturday night and KKD is "baffled why she now says it is rape."
"There were other people around and it's difficult for me to understand how a person can be forced to have sexual relations and the people around won't hear cries or shouts for help," he stated.
The sexual encounter is alleged to have happened in a "bathroom" of the African Regent Hotel suite.
The lady has to prove it was not a consensual sex, Nana Bediatuo said.
He added after the act, the two went outside of the bathroom, had drinks and watched a show together in the suite.
It was later that KKD was arrested politely by the police.
Nana Asante Bediatuo cannot say if the two were in a relationship.
He described KKD as "shocked" and completely "disorganized" about the incident.
He said under the circumstances no "reasonable person" would agree rape occurred.
The suspect is currently being held at the Airport police station while investigations continue.
According to Joy News' Kwakye Afreh Nuamah the complainant together with KKD have been driven to the African Regent Hotel to narrate exactly how the encounter occurred.
Rape is not a bailable offence and Nana Asante Bediatuo is waiting for the case to be sent to court so he could defend his client.
